How to configure oracle 12c Active dataguard Database using

RMAN DUPLICATE
Requirements:
1) Two machines with Redhat Linux 6 OS.
2) Oracle 12c Database software.
3) Primary Database name OCPPR & IP ADDRESS IS 192.168.1.10
4) Standby Database name OCPDR & IP ADDRESS IS 192.168.1.20
Note: – we are going to configure Oracle Dataguard on 12c Container Database, On Primary
machine install Oracle software with one database configuration & on Standby machine install
only Oracle 12c software without any Database.
DB_NAME will same on both nodes, but DB_UNIQUE_NAME must be different.

Primary side configurations

Step-1. Install Oracle 12c software with one Database.
Step-2. Check Primary Database must be running in Archivelog mode if not, change it.

SQL> SELECT log_mode FROM v$database;

LOG_MODE

------------

NOARCHIVELOG

SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;

SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;

SQL> ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG;

SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;

Step-3. Enable force logging using following command

SQL> alter database force logging;

At least one log file available

SQL> alter system switch logfile;

Step-4. Now create standby redo logs for switchovers and should be add one extra.

SQL> alter database add standby logfile ‘/u01/app/oracle/oradata/ocpr/standby_redo01.log’ size 50m;

SQL> alter database add standby logfile ‘/u01/app/oracle/oradata/ocppr/standby_redo02.log’ size 50m;

SQL> alter database add standby logfile ‘/u01/app/oracle/oradata/ocppr/standby_redo03.log’ size 50m;

SQL> alter database add standby logfile ‘/u01/app/oracle/oradata/ocppr/standby_redo04.log’ size 50m;

Step-5. Check DB_NAME & DB_UNIQUE_NAME

SQL> show parameter db_name NAME

TYPE VALUE NAME

----------- ----------- -----------

db_name string ocppr

SQL> show parameter db_unique_name

TYPE VALUE NAME

--------------- ------------ -----------

db_unique_name string ocppr

Note:- On standby have db_unique_name is OCPDR.

Step-6. Now set remote archivelog destination for standby & local is in flash_recovery_area

SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_2= ‘service=ocpdr async noaffirm

reopen=15 valid_for=(all_logfiles,primary_role) db_unique_name=ocpdr’;

Step-7. The STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT parameter must be set AUTO.

ALTER SYSTEM SET STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO;

Step-8. Now configure listener for your Primary Database using NETMGR command & make
TNS service on both side (Primary & Standby).

Going in Database services

TNS SERVICES FOR BOTH SERVERS USING NETCA COMMAND.

NEXT and select Add then NEXT

Set PRIMARY service name and repeat it with STANDBY service name.

Next Next

Set Hostname as your machine name or IP Address then next next finesh.
Repeat same step for standby service on both side.

Step-9. Restart the listener on both side and try tnsping

$lsnrctl stop

$lsnrctl start

$tnsping ocpdr (on primary)

$tnsping ocppr (on standby)

Step-10. Set log_archive_config parameter as below

SQL> alter system set log_archive_config='dg_config=(ocppr,ocpdr)';

Step-11. Must be set remote_login_passwordfile exclusive.

SQL> alter system set remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE';

Step-12. Now update the fal_client & fal_server parameter using following commands.
SQL> alter system set fal_server='OCPDR';

SQL> alter system set fal_client='OCPPR';

Step-13. Create pfile from spfile for standby database.

SQL> create pfile=’/u01/initocpdr.ora’ from spfile;

After all that configuration your Primary pfile lock lick this.

*.log_archive_dest_2='service=ocpdr valid_for=(all_logfiles,primary_role) db_unique_name=ocpdr'

*.open_cursors=300

*.processes=300

*.remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'

*.standby_file_management='AUTO'

*.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'

Now we have done primary server tasks then move pfile & password file from PRIMARY
server to STANDBY server.

STANDBY configurations:-
Step-14. Make required directories on Standby like.

mkdir /u01/app/oracle/admin/ocpdr/adump

mkdir /u01/app/oracle/oradata/ocdpr/

mkdir /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/ocdpr/

Step-15. Make some changed in pfile (Add two parameters “log_file_name_convert” &
“db_file_name_convert“, after changes your standby pfile lock like this.

*.open_cursors=300

*.processes=300

*.remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'

*.standby_file_management='AUTO'

*.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'

Step-16. Now start standby instance using pfile at nomount stage

$export ORACLE_SID=ocpdr

$sqlplus sys/Oracle12c@ocpdr as sysdba

SQL> startup nomount pfile=/u01/initocpdr.ora;

Step-17. Now connect with rman with target & auxiliary instance using following command.

You can do this on Primary or Standby it’s your choice.

$ rman target sys/Oracle12c@ocppr auxiliary sys/Oracle12c@ocpdr

Now run the following duplicate command, that command will start copying all database on
standby server.

Duplicate target database for standby from active database dorecover nofilenamecheck;

Her brief explanation of the command which i used in above statement.

 FOR STANDBY: confirm the DUPLICATE command is used for a standby, so it will not
force to change DBID.
 FROM ACTIVE DATABASE: The DUPLICATE will be copy directly from the primary
datafiles, without any external backup.
 DORECOVER: The DUPLICATE is recover the standby up to the current point in time.
 NOFILENAMECHECK: On standby file locations are not checked.

Note:- Now you finished successfully Dataguard configuration.
